What Is Electronic Music Research Laboratories?
About The Man
The driving force behind this unique electronic music project is composer/showman David Sweet. David is originally from the Central New York area and is currently residing in the Southern Tier of NY State. Dave has formed a private studio, "Electronic Music Research Laboratories", that explores new concepts in sound and performance.
For the past 18 years, Dave has been writing electronic music and experimenting with new sounds. He has done several shows in the area, including the Link Planetarium in Binghamton NY, which were very well received.
The music is simplicity itself. David uses modified western culture music idioms, as well as free form modes to articulate his musical ideas. Experimentally, sounds are generated and used to punctuate the music or are realized as unique new voices.
David's music is unique. Original compositions are inventive, yet simple and have an infectious "hook" people can't quite put their finger on. Influences include: Kitaro, Kraftwerk, Yanni, Pink Floyd and many other electronic music veterans. Dave's approach and blending of digital and analog sounds make Dave's music a true listening experience.
In 1980, David tragically lost 4 fingers on his right hand due to an industrial accident. Many keyboard players would have considered this to be the end of a career, but David's continued determination to create music and deep desire to perform prevail.
About The Music
Creativity comes from deep space exploration, space art, and a hands-on approach to the physical and technical sciences, as well a historical scientific and electric devices. Dave draws from all of these areas for creative input and reflect these ideas in the music.
Dave's philosophy is that simple is best and he proves this by applying a simple approach to the songs he writes. Lavish orchestration and integral strength does not need to be complex. Pure sound plus pure power, combined with a sensational stage presentation, showcases the music as well as the musician. Combining these concepts into the realm of magick and the mystical atmosphere of New Age and Space Rock makes the music a unique experience, where musical reality and fantasy are one.
